Antonia Bance has won the Tipton and Wednesbury seat in the 2024 General Election for Labour with 11,755 votes. They won with a majority of more than 3,000.

The Conservative Party just came second with 8,370 votes. It was one of a rising tide of West Midlands constuencies switching from the Tories to Labour as the Red Wall crumbles.

Formerly named West Bromwich West, the Conservatives won here in 2019. The seat, now named Tipton and Wednesbury, saw Shaun Bailey becoming the first Conservative MPs in history to be elected in West Bromwich.

A near 12 per cent swing from Labour to Tory saw Mr Bailey win with 17,419 votes – just over half of the vote and 3,799 votes ahead of Labour. Boundary changes have seen the name of this constituency changed.

Turnout was 43.17%. This is significantly lower than in 2019 when turnout was 51.7%.

Every Tory MP is to blame for this defeat – myself included
Who’s to blame? All of us – every Conservative MP in the last Parliament – has a share of the blame for this defeat. For my part, I made life harder for my Party by calling publicly for tougher policy on migration and defence, and so made negative headlines about Tory splits and factions.

Boris Johnson blames 'Pied Piper' Nigel Farage for role in 'destruction' of Tories
Boris Johnson says Nigel Farage played a "significant" role in the "destruction" of the Tories – while taking a swipe at those who ousted him from Number 10 back in 2022. Reform UK have secured five seats in the House of Commons including one for its leader Mr Farage, who succeeded in being elected in Clacton, Essex. Former prime minister Mr Johnson has dissected his party's performance in his Daily Mail column, saying the reasons why the Tories lost so many MPs were "complex" - but "the Yucatan asteroid in this catastrophe was obvious: it was Reform".

The move to Downing Street is a symbolic moment for any incoming prime minister, the most obvious proof of your drastically changed situation.

For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.
